Welcome to our Ethernet ESPSX3 Serial Port Server Software Download Page
(updated May 6, 2006)

Free firmware updates for the ESPSX3 are now available for download!
(programming cable required - available from R. E. Smith)

Important Note: COM Port Redirect software for existing serial applications is available
from tacticalsoftware.com; Serial/IP and will work with the ESPSX3 board.
Also, a 30-day demo version is available for free download.

Check back often, we are working on our own "way cool"
COM Port Redirect software with some very nice features.
We expect to have a beta version of this software in the next week or two.
Price is good also; it is included with the purchase of an ESPSX3 unit.
Click here for a look at some preliminary screen shots of our redirect software.
We also have a solution (hardware) for redirecting existing serial ports on your
PC to ethernet ports. This CANNOT be done with redirect software. Call Ron
at 513-874-4796 for additional information on how to solve this very difficult problem.

 ESPSX3 Software versions available for download (Beta Version 2.8 recommended):
UDP ("Multicast") and SNMP formats will be supported in the near future. Digital I/O "extension cords"

4-optoisolated inputs, and 4-form-C relay outputs) are almost ready for shipment. Call us!
We are also working on a 6-port serial port server with digital I/O.

INSTRUCTIONS

Use the program RFU.EXE to load the ESPSX3 binary image.

Unzip the file RabbitFlashUtility.exe (self extracting zip) into a folder and copy the selected .bin file into the same folder. Execute the RFU.EXE program from the folder where the files were extracted. This is a windows application that loads the firmware into the ESPSX3 via a serial communications port, using a programming cable available from R.E.Smith.

1. Setup
   a. Communications - Select the appropriate communication port and buad rate (115200).
   b. Boot Strap Loaders -
       Cold Loader : C:\your_directory\coldload.bin
       Pilot BIOS : C:\your_directory\pilot.bin

2. File - Load Flash Image Enter the path to the current .bin file and press O.K. (or current name.bin file).

Note: Do NOT use a USB to Serial port device to connect to the programming cable, connect directly to COM1 or COM2 available on most PC's.
